How do I rotate X-axis labels?

If X-axis labels cannot be rotated 90deg., can a development request be submitted. This should be a simple checkbox.

Hey,

Why dont you clear the X-axis label and use a free label?

You can submit development requests under the NI Product Suggestion Center -> http://digital.ni.com/applications/psc.nsf/default?OpenForm

Take a look at this thread if yo uneed this now. It shows how to use a picture control to the x-scale labels.

Christian & Ben,

Thank you for the idea. This will work well for bar graphs like this.

If I wish to have the X-axis labels on a log plot, with the labels rotated, it looks like the code will become quite complex.

I put in an enhancement request to add a "rotated label" checkbox. This seems to be a feature well overdue  for such a well developed software platform.

It's been 15 years since I have used LabView and have finally come back last week. It seems like GUI features which needed improvement 15 years ago still need improvement. Another one is simple customization of controls like buttons. It seems like the customization could be so much more intuitive and too many people on this forum have to code up complex solutions for something which should be so simple from a user perspective.

Thanks!

Richard

Maybe you could use an excel chart
